proposed changes to renderAsHTML function

[stepcut]

Hello,

I rewrote the renderAsHTML function making two key changes:

1. it now uses Text Builder instead of ShowS
2. it now has two render styles, Compact and Expanded

You can see my proposed module here:

http://hpaste.org/66044

These are obviously breaking changes as the change the type of
renderAsHTML. It would possibly to provide a backwards compatible
version of renderAsHTML and give the new functionality a new name. If
we do that, I would propose we mark renderAsHTML as deprecated ?

An opinions?

Also, I use Text Builder here which allows you to deal the encoding
issue until later. Maybe we should also have a UTF-8 ByteString
Builder version as well?

Ultimately, I hope that we will have an XML type based around Text or
Text Builder. Though it is not quite as easy as one might think.

No objections on my part. Personally I'm perfectly happy to throw backwards-compatibility out the window here, but then again I'm not the one actually using the library for industrial use.

Cheers,
